[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/7] tests/qemu-iotests/005: Add a sanity check for large sparse file support

[Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>]

"check -raw 005" fails when running on certain filesystems - these do not
support such large sparse files. Use the same check as in test 220 to
skip the test in this case.
